/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "In all probability, Armenia-Turkey Protocols’
ratification at Turkish parliament is to be expected next year,"
Caucasus Institute Director, politologist Alexander Iskandaryan told
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "Kurd issue is Turkey’s primary concern,
Armenian issue is not that important at the moment. Protocols might
be ratified parallel to heated discussions on Kurd issue, not earlier
than February though," Iskandaryan emphasized.

At the same time, he noted that Armenia, too, is in no rush to ratify
Protocols, which are not even presented to RA Constitutional Court,
which is to endorse protocols’ submittal to parliament.
